1979 Golden Age

After the celebration banquet, the first thing to do was to study Li Lianjie’s salary issue.

He was on secondment and his work relationship was still with the Wushu Team. Chen Qi sent a message to Beijing and invited the Wushu Team and the Sports Committee leaders to come and discuss.

With the successful release of Black Mask, there was no guarantee that a Hollywood studio would ask him to act in a movie, and they would pay him in US dollars. At this stage, Chen Qi loosened the reins a little and agreed to let him go out to take on roles.

Three-party consultation.

Chen Qi expressed his attitude: he supports him to go abroad, but the films he accepts must be reviewed by the company, and he will not accept any films that insult the image of the country and the Chinese people.

The attitude of the Wushu Team and the Sports Committee is, well, they want training fees.

Li Lianjie was seconded to the Oriental Company and filmed the dramas for the Oriental Company, which was all operated within the system. But taking dramas from outside, especially Hollywood, was different because he was essentially still an athlete in the martial arts team and had a system.

Just like when Yao Ming went to play in the NBA, he had to give money to the Shanghai team and the Basketball Association.

As for Liu Xiang's GG development, he takes 50%, his coach takes 15%, the local sports bureau that trains the athlete takes 20%, and the Chinese Athletics Association keeps 15%.

Although there are no specific regulations now, the intentions of the Wushu Team and the Sports Committee cannot be avoided, and half of it is needed when opening the mouth. Chen Qi also needs to use Li Lianjie to coordinate in the middle.

It was finally decided at 10% and will be implemented temporarily until the end of the secondment period.

…………

This day.

In the office, Chen Qi and Fu Qi were studying "The Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang".

“It will be released in September!”

"We have already communicated with Li Zongren's wife and son, and the descendants of some generals will also come. Then we will invite the main creators of the crew, especially Zhao Hengduo who plays Chiang Kai-shek. Once the media builds up momentum, the premiere will be a success."

"October is National Day, and it's just right for the fun before that."

"Those videotapes have been sent to Taiwan, and a copy of 'The Battle of Taierzhuang' has been brought in as well, so that the veterans can watch it. Alas, I don't know what the Taiwanese people's reaction will be after watching the videotapes. Will Jiang Sizhang still be able to come?"

"He gets one chance a year, and if he wants to see me again he'll have to go through the United States."

"That's fine. When building a base behind enemy lines, smooth communication is very important."

The two finalized the plan and immediately began preparations.

Promoting "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang" was a task assigned by the higher-ups, who made sure to draw attention to this film in Taiwan. Unconsciously, the higher-ups no longer regarded Chen Qi as a comrade who was purely involved in the film industry.

While busy with these tasks, Chen Qi took time out to visit Huake Electronics.

…

Hong Kong's New Territories are very large and mountainous, and in the past they were mainly used for agricultural production.

Since the 1970s, new towns have been continuously developed in the New Territories, including Tsuen Wan, Shatin, Tai Po, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, etc. Tai Po is located in the central part of the New Territories. It has just been developed and the population is relatively small. There are some planned industrial villages here.

Huake Electronics is located in the industrial village.

Guo Yourong was very considerate and personally accompanied Chen Qi to meet a person in charge. The person in charge was also puzzled by Chen Qi's visit, but since he was a guest, he was treated very warmly.

A few people entered the factory. It was not too big, with brand new factory buildings standing there, but the employees looked a little dejected.

"In 1979, China Resources and Hong Kong Science and Technology Company jointly established a joint venture, taking one character from each other, and the name Huake was established, with China Resources holding a 30% stake."

"In 1983, Keyuan Company withdrew due to insufficient income and expenditure, and a company under the Ministry of Aerospace took over the management. These factories were also built in that year, so they are very new."

Chen Qi asked: "So now China Resources and the Ministry of Aerospace jointly hold shares?"

“Yes, yes!”

"I heard that you make chips for electronic watches, toys, and small computers. These are all hot-selling products. How can you still make a loss?"

"Well……"

He asked directly, and the other party was embarrassed. He said: "Our products are outdated, and the United States has also imposed a technology blockade on us. We cobbled together an old four-inch semiconductor wafer production line to produce wafer products with a line width of more than 2 microns, which are used for color TVs and computers..."

Seeing Chen Qi's confused face, he asked, "You don't understand this?"

"don't know!"

So what are you visiting?

The person in charge was depressed, and Chen Qi smiled and said, "You just need to tell me, is this thing advanced or backward?"

“Yes, the benefits are not good!”

Chen Qi nodded and continued his tour. He pretended to look around but didn't see anything. He walked out as Guo Yourong and the person in charge rolled their eyes at him in contempt, thinking he had suddenly gone crazy.

On the way back.

Chen Qi sat in the car and asked, "How much money did Huake lose?"

“More than 100 million Hong Kong dollars!”

"What?!"

He was shocked and asked, "Isn't this yellow yet?"

"How could it fail when both the Ministry of Aerospace and China Resources supported it? However, the Ministry of Aerospace was very dissatisfied and thought it was a mess and wanted to withdraw."

Guo Yourong also asked: "You don't understand R\u0026D, what are you doing here?"

"Look, their products are neither advanced nor backward, which means there is still demand, right? Then why are they losing money? It's simple, they didn't find the right market! Or, in other words, they don't know how to find the market at all.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I don’t understand technology, but I understand what the people like! ”

"this……"

Guo Yourong narrowed his eyes. He knew some of the internal dynamics of China Resources.

If Huake makes losses again next year, the Ministry of Aerospace will probably withdraw, and China Resources wants to take over the business. The senior management's judgment is similar to Chen Qi's, that is, the problem is sales, and China Resources has rich sales experience, and may be able to bring Huake back to life.

But then again, when it comes to figuring out what the people like and want to see, who can compare to Comrade Chen Qi?

hiss!

Guo Yourong's heart skipped a beat, thinking that maybe they could really work together, but the other party's cross-border involvement was too outrageous.

………………

Taipei.

Zhang Deshan's steamed bun shop is quite famous on this street. He speaks with a Shandong Heze accent, and the steamed buns he makes are white and soft, so his business is very good. Neighbors all know that he is thrifty, hardworking and capable, saving money for his children to study abroad.

That afternoon, Zhang Deshen closed the door early, contrary to his usual practice.

I rode my bike a little stealthily to a place. It was an independent two-story building with a small courtyard. The owner was well off.

"Brother Gao!"

"Mr. Zhang is here. Please sit down for a while. He hasn't arrived yet!"

The host is a 50-year-old man, well-mannered, named Gao Binghan, a lawyer, also from Heze. Most of these veterans are rough and uneducated, and they consult Gao Binghan when they have something to do, and gradually formed a small group of people from Heze.

Soon, everyone arrived one after another, and there were actually more than a dozen people.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, have you eaten the sesame cake?"

"I couldn't bear to eat it, did you eat it?"

"I couldn't bear to part with it either. I didn't eat the Gengbing either, but I gave the red dates to my son."

"It's the same in our family. We give red dates and hawthorns to our children. I took a bite and it still tasted the same."

As everyone was talking, they suddenly sighed.

Not long ago, a Shandong woman who immigrated to Argentina went back to Heze and made a special detour to Taiwan to visit them. She brought some local specialties and a bag of Heze soil.

Each person received 1 sesame cake, 3 Geng cakes, 5 hawthorns, 5 red dates and a handful of soil.

They regularly gathered at Gao Binghan's house to keep each other warm, and thought that today they would chat and drink tea as usual. But Gao Binghan saw that everyone was there, locked the door, drew the curtains, and carefully took out a videotape.

"This was given to me by Mr. Jiang Sizhang. Let's take a look together."

"What?"

"Brother Gao, have you learned bad things? Are you gathering people to watch porn movies?"

"You farted!"

Gao Binghan cursed and put the videotape into the TV. He had never seen it himself, so he stared at the TV screen nervously and expectantly, muttering, "This is our hometown, our hometown!"

(No more…)
